Definitions

  • the invention relates to chemical and petroleum engineering and has specific reference to mass-transfer apparatus.
  • a liquid fed from the sprayer forms a layer of mobile froth on the tray to absorb certain gases or dust from the bulk gas flow.
  • a mass-transfer apparatus which, in addition to heat and mass transfer, can cope also with wet scrubbing of gases (cf. USSR Inventor's Certificate No. 434.969, Int. Cl.B01 d 47/04).
  • the case of the known apparatus contains perforated trays each whereof is fitted with a contiguous froth retainer in the form of a grid made up of upright bars. The height of every bar is 0.2 to 0.6 times the thickness of the froth layer, and the net cross-sectional area of a grid is at least 0.8 time the net cross-sectional area of the apparatus. Perforations are provided in some of the bars of the froth retainer, next to the surface of the tray.
  • the main purpose the froth retainer is to set up on the tray a thick and homogenous layer of froth with fine cellular structure and to provide for a continuous flow of the phases at their interface without apparent fluctuations.
  • the froth retainer eliminate turbulence and, consequently, increase the capacity of the apparatus.
  • the essence of the invention consists in that in a mass-transfer apparatus in the case whereof there are contained at least one horizontal perforated tray and a froth retainer in the form of a grid made up of upright bars which are fitted directly to the tray and form interconnected cells, according to the invention, the lower portions of the bars of the froth retainer are made solid and the cells of the grid communicate with one another by way of perforations in the upper portions of the bars of the froth retainer.
  • the ratio of the total net area of the perforations in the froth retainer and that of the perforations in the tray be 1.2-3.0.
  • the froth retainer can extend over the entire distance separating two adjacent trays. In large-diameter apparatus, it is practical that the height of the froth retainer is somewhat smaller than the distance between the trays. An unobstructed space so formed permits a redistribution of the gas (vapour) flow to take place before the gas reaches the above-lying tray.
  • the perforated baffle plates have a better showing than solid ones in suppressing the splashing and keeping up the froth in the cells. Their performance permits the flow rate of gas or vapour to be increased in the apparatus.
  • FIG. 2 is an axonometric view of a froth retainer
  • FIG. 3 is a sectional elevation of a cell of a froth retainer showing a cruciform baffle plate at the top and two diagonal baffle plates below it;
  • FIG. 4 is a section on line IV--IV of FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 5 is an axonometric view of a diagonally-arranged cruciform baffle plate in a cell
  • FIG. 6 is an axonometric view of two diagonal baffle plates located a distance apart.
  • a length C of a side of the square cell 9 is 0.08-0.25 time a height B of the cell side.
  • FIG. 2 which is an axonometric view of a froth retainer 7, the cells 9 thereof communicate with one another via perforations 10 provided at the top of the bars 8, whereas the lower portions of the bars 8 (FIG. 3) are made solid.
  • a height F of the solid portion of every bar 8 is 0.1-0.5 of the height B of the bar 8.
  • the baffle plates (12, 13) may be perforated.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a version of the cruciform baffle plate 11 the bars 12, 13 whereof are secured parallel with the bars 8 (FIG. 1) of the froth retainer 7.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates diagonal baffle plates 14, 15 which are located in the cell 9 (shown in light lines) of the froth retainer 7 out of contact with one another.
  • diagonal baffle plates located in contact with one another provide a possible alternative.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates a version of a cruciform baffle plate 6 with diagonal bars 17, 18 located inside a cell 9 (FIG. 1) of the froth retainer 7 shown in light lines.
  • the mass-transfer apparatus of the invention operates as follows.
  • the diagonal or cruciform baffle plates provided inside the cells of the froth retainer control the turbulence at the centres of the cells, which gives rise to splashing, and promote the stability of the layer of froth.
  • Perforated baffle plates are particularly effective in this respect, retaining and redistributing the froth in a better way than their solid counterparts.
  • the apparatus with perforated diagonal or cruciform baffle plates in the cells of the froth retainer operate at a maximum gas (vapour) flow rate which cannot be achieved in mass-transfer apparatus featuring froth retainers of any other design.
  • the disclosed mass-transfer apparatus provides solution to the problem of increasing 1.5 to 2 times the capacity of absorption and desorption plants, fractionation units and gas scrubbing equipment.
  • the present invention is conducive to increasing the capacity of the mass-transfer column, which is the key item of a mass-transfer installation, and paves the way to developing compact plants with a large capacity per unit volume.
  • the invention can be used to advantage in the chemical, petrochemical, food, oil and gas industries to cope with mass-transfer processes.
  • a preferred field of its application comprises deethanizers and stabilizers for processing condensate, high-pressure absorbers for treating natural gas, fractination columns used in the manufacture of synthetic rubber, cryogenic air-separation plants and gas scrubbers.
